#Dodgers first asked for #Braves Andrelton Simmons to be included in deal for Olivera. Braves quickly rejected that idea.

 

Lol the Dodgers don't give a f***.

Everyone is praising the goddam NL Central and what a tough division it was. Can't it really be the toughest division ever with two dogshit teams in it?

It's an unbalanced league, it's like a community with no middle class. You got power teams and piss poor teams that all get beat up on.

 

Just look at the Pirates, they are 34-42 against the Central but 51-15 against the West & East.

Hey if you don't ask, you won't get.

Beane -> VP, Forst -> GM

What kind of psychobabble mind games are the forum powers playing with this poll? Stay out of my head!

[BTS]

I voted option 2 though.

Can't you say the same about the AL East in the past when yankees and boston were unreal? Toronto didn't do so well against them and balitmore and tampa both sucked at the time.

I think one of the old mods (cough Hurl cough) is taking advantage of the presence of more mods to just do whatever he wants.

I think he stepped down as mod but admin never took his mod powers away.

Well if it's him, it's all in good fun and if it's not him than it's probably Deadpool.

It's a pretty boring story: Ang's stupid poll thread was merged into this thread by o2. You can't delete a poll so I decided to start changing the poll every so often to ask people interesting baseball questions. However, this time I couldn't seem to reset the voting ability of people who had voted on the previous poll, so I just left it with this default one.

 

So ur dumn? Gotcha

[KingKat]

No, o2 is dumn for not deleting the original poll thread lol. Let me know if you can vote in this new poll. It's telling me I've already voted.

 

I can't.

All I'm seeing here are excuses.

Can't vote. It shows as if I've already voted for the second option.

[GD]

North is dumn lool

[BTS]

I think I get it. The original poll wasn't created in this thread, so the AL Central relievers poll was this thread's first poll. I'll create a new thread and merge it in. That should work.

 

North is going to permanently delete "Around Baseball 2015'.

[BTS]

The manipulation has already been done. Now please vote! I know you like discussing front office decision-making.

 

Good poll. Voted CHC, but I also have a lot of faith in Luhnow and Huntington (which would have been inconceivable 3 years ago).

I feel the same way. All 4 front offices are excellent.

[Orgfiller]

I think you should have made the results public, it's interesting to see which posters vote for which FO.

[baubau]

I'll rank mine.

 

1. Cubs

2. Pittsburgh

3. Huston

4. Yankees

 

I'm impressed with the Yankees and think they have done better all things considered (Prado trade, and then flipping for Evoldi, getting Didi). However their bad contacts sunk them for me. Otherwise I would have them ahead of the Astros who just tanked to get where they are but some credit has to be given to their drafting and they sign UFA to good deals overall. Being in Texas helps but can't fault a front office for location.

 

Both the Pirates and Cubs have good young talent (more so Cubs obviously) and a overall solid group of players signed or traded for (Arrieta and Cerveli).

[HERPDERP]

Matt Harvey causing more drama.

 

The Mets #1 starter didn't show up for a teamwork out today.

Nothing but problems we should likely take that trouble maker off their hands for them.

Eh I prefer them not trading with the mets again, I'm still suffering from PTSD.

[G-Snarls]

Harvey had better be good in game 3

[TheHurl]

McClendon out as the M's manager. Tim Bogar to leave the front office and return to coaching? I mean after they do their obligatory minority manager interviews of course. I'd say by next month there won't be a Jack Z guy left in that org (Chris Gwynn quit, Simmons out Pete V out. Joe McIlvane out...and all the pro scouts out.

[TheHurl]

After seeing St. Louis continue to be disrespected by "expert" picks and fan betting, I'm loving the start to this series.

[G-Snarls]

I've never gotten to see deGrom pitch before tonight

 

Hopefully in for a treat

[G-Snarls]

Cuddyer fail

[deadlee]

Watching the tbs broadcast for the mets game. - so much more refreshing to hear their comms versus the turf guys this morning
